Giuseppe Bezzuoli. The Great Hero of Romantic Painting
Exhibition March 29 − July 5, 2022
Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti present the exhibition "Giuseppe Bezzuoli. The Great Hero of Romantic Painting".
The exhibition includes more than 130 paintings, sculptures and drawings that tell the story of Bezzuoli's career and the art of his time. Many works are on loan from Italian and foreign museums and collections.
The exhibition begins from the artist's neoclassical beginnings to his full maturity, when at the height of his fame he created several masterpieces of the great Italian Romantic painting. In addition, a sensational parade of portraits of society contemporary to the artist is presented: a cross-section of the nobility and the middle class. The exhibition also allows us to compare Bezzuoli's paintings with those of other distinguished masters such as Francesco Ayes and Massimo D'Azzello, and offers visitors the opportunity to admire the works of major representatives of the cosmopolitan art and culture of Florence in the early 19th century, including Engré, who worked in the city at the same time as Bezzuoli, sculptors Horatio Greenough and Hiram Powers, and Thomas Cole, an excellent representative of the Hudson River school. One section is devoted to young American artists who attended Giuseppe Bezzuoli's painting classes at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.
Prepared according to the materials of the website Uffizi Galleries.
